Those are wonderful!!! Now I need to start looking our for light fixtures at my favorite thrift store too.
Those are so cute. What is the second one? Is it a small gazing ball? You know copying someone is the best form of flattery. Can you tell us how you made them?
garden pals Andy is a light cover. I base painted them with a primer spray paint then drew on the faces and used my acrylic craft paints to do the detail work. Then I use a UV clear coat to finish. Was lots of fun and easy and cheep. closer look at his smirk ( photo / image / picture from thepondlady's Garden )
You probably aren't old enough to remember, but when I was a kid there was a black and white cartoon shown at the theaters that had a man in the moon face that looked a lot like your Andy. He is really cute. Have you tried the Folkart enamels for glass and ceramic? I have a sample pack for a project I have in mind.
I do remember that face. Could have been the madness behind this guy. Never heard of that paint put I bet it would work.
